“…This is because the ability to explain what is intended , the results and lessons learned and to justify actions is what is important rather than mere performance . Maclagan (1991) wishes to see a competence model which takes greater account of moral issues and the development of a capacity for reasoned thinking . These possible extensions to the competence approach would seem to be central to the notion of the professional displaying specialist skills and exercising judgement .…”

“…Anwar et al, 2020). One of the most important justifications for introducing spirituality to an organisation is through essentialising ethics (Polly et al, 2005), for example, by developing ethical behaviour (Maclagan, 1991) and a more cohesive vision and purpose (Kahnweiler & Otte, 1997). As a regulative ideal, spirituality produces embedded networks of certain moral value, which provides standard and ethical understandings to determine moral choices within day-to-day work practices (McGhee & Grant, 2008).…”

Research into spirituality and its impact on the work environment has been bourgeoning. In an attempt to explore the role of Islamic spirituality in the workplace, this study examines the influence of Islamic spirituality on job satisfaction and organisational commitment through work ethics. Data are obtained by an online Likert-scaled questionnaire survey based on one thousand Muslim employees from various economic sectors in Indonesia and analysed through structural equation modelling (SEM). The findings demonstrate that Islamic spirituality positively influences job satisfaction and organisational commitment as two dimensions of work attitudes and that work ethics mediate that influence. There is also evidence that job satisfaction positively influences organisational commitment, but work ethics does not moderate that influence. The findings related to the role of work ethics, which mediates the effect of Islamic spirituality on job satisfaction and organisational commitment, can be considered the contribution of this study.

“…He cautiously advances towards a typology for a moral ethos. Basing his approach upon a critique of Kohlberg's stage model of ethical reasoning as well as Lavoie and Culbert's (1978), Bird and Walters (1989) and Petrich and Wegley's (1992) analyses of the moral climate of organisations, and informed by the reasoning of Maclagan (1991), Snell proposes an 'original' model not only composed of six types of moral ethos but also featuring 16 dimensions which he describes as the 'salient properties ofa moral ethos within organisations'. Snell believes that these 16 dimensions may be regarded as variables which are not entirely separate and discrete.…”

As part of a wider Educational ActionResearch Project begun in the winter of 1992, following the publication of the police service statement of ethical principles and the attendant commentary on those principles, the research reported here focuses upon data patterns emerging from the development of two instruments, the 'Bramshill ethics' questionnaire and the 'moral ethos' questionnaire. These two instruments were specifically designed to provide police leaders and managers attending development courses at Bramshill with information concerning the 'moral world' of fellow prac-tutoners. The emerging data patterns point to very real moral complexity and diversity among the middle managers of the police service. In addition, while somefeatures of the moral ethos of police organisations are highly desirable from both a moral and a professional point of view, other aspects cast doubts upon the ability if police organisations to attain the status of quality organisations.
